Computer Vision Treatment at Eagle Vision Eye Clinic

Anyone who keeps their eyes focused on small, close objects will eventually experience uncomfortable eye strain. Unfortunately, that's exactly what countless Americans must do if they work with computers on a regular basis. Hours of intense focus, coupled with high levels of blue light exposure created by computer monitors, can lead to a chronic strain problem known as computer vision. Here at Eagle Vision Eye Clinic in Longmont, CO, we can provide treatment options to ease the burden on your eyes and help you get your work done without causing additional eye strain.

Computer Vision Causes, Symptoms, and Concerns

Computer vision, also known as computer vision syndrome (CVS) or digital eye strain, can occur for a combination of reasons. If you haven’t had your eyes tested or your corrective vision prescription updated recently, your eye muscles may be straining themselves in a losing battle to bring computer text into clear focus. Even if your prescription is correct, the harsh lighting conditions often associated with computer work can strain your eyes. Another problem involves LED monitors, which tend to emit light on the blue side of the spectrum. Intense exposure to blue light can add to your eye strain and even raise your risk for macular degeneration.

Computer vision tends to produce some obvious symptoms. You may suffer from dry, red, irritated eyes, blurred vision, and headaches related to eye strain. The stress can also make its way to other muscles, leading to neck and shoulder pain.

Effective Treatment and Preventive Vision Care

Fortunately, you don't have to live with the constant irritation of computer vision, even if your work requires long hours at the computer. Our Longmont, CO vision care team can administer eye and vision testing to see whether you may need new glasses or contacts that do a better job of bringing objects into focus. For example, most people aged 40 and older develop some degree of an eye focusing problem called presbyopia, which can be corrected with multifocal lenses. We can also provide you with special computer glasses designed to minimize digital eye strain. These glasses contain filters or colored tints that block varying degrees of blue light. We can even recommend smart preventive steps such as adding a backlight or calibrating your monitor to smooth contrast levels and ease eye strain.
